WD 29Oct2106 - Tooth Fairy


Happy Weekend!  One of my little friends is about to loose her 1st tooth and I thought this little envie would be perfect for her parents to pop something into from the tooth fairy.  The very sweet Whimsie Doodles image Tooth Fairy Abby was my inspiration.  You can find her in the What's New category in the Whimsie Doodles store here.


I cut the "card" using my Silhouette Cameo and then glued in an additional piece that will hold coins, bills or a gift card depending on what the tooth fairy plans on leaving.  


Thanks so much for checking in today.  I want to remind you our current "Anything Goes With A Fall Twist" challenge is still active.  You have plenty of time to enter here.

Aloha,
Brenda

TCP Blog Hop 10/18/2016


Happy Blog Hop Day.  Welcome to The Cat's Pajamas celebration of our newest release.   I hope you had as much fun peeking as we have had sharing with you.  Now you can get all the fab stamps and dies for your very own.  

Hopefully you have arrived here from The Cat's Pajamas Blog.  If so, you know the hop starts our newest TCP Tuesday Challenge.



Here's my card featuring the CutUps Duo tag die and Cups die (see the tiny shrink plastic cup?) and This Could Be Vodka.




I have to admit I love all the products in this release.  I love that they range from beautifully elegant to fun and sassy.  I think what I love most is the versatility and quality of all these wonderful new stamps and dies.   It has all been so much fun, but there's plenty left to see.  

The next stop on the hop is the fabulously talented  Kitty Cat, Wendy.  Hop on over and see what wonderful creation she has to share.

The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peek 7 - Bunny Snowglobe

Welcome to The Cat's Pajamas final sneak peek for our October release.  I'm always a little saddened by the final day of sneaks.  That is, until I think about out cute this last set is!  Today's set features none other than our favorite floppy eared Bunny - Bunny Snowglobe!  

I have to admit, for this release, I seem to be obsessed with shaker cards.  I colored Bunny up with Copic markers and added some fun "snow" and encased it all in an acrylic button cover.    


The Season's Greetings CutUps seemed to be the perfect sentiment.  I love this gorgeous font and they cut this glitter paper like butter!  Here's a closer look at these goodies.




-This is your last chance to win a $10 gift certificate to The Cat's Pajamas store, by leaving a comment on each of the sneak peek posts, including The Cat's Pajamas blog. A winner will be drawn and announced on the TCP Facebook Page the following day.

Even though I'm sad today is the last peek, I'm excited about the Pajama Party tonight on Facebook!  I hope you'll be able to join us.  We will be sharing more peeks of the new release and who knows, maybe you'll have an opportunity to WIN!!!





The other thing I am happy about is that tomorrow is release day!  I know you have been waiting patiently and you will be able to get these wonderful stamps and dies for yourself.  Order them quick to join in on our Winter Blog Hop which starts tomorrow!



Don't miss the peeks today from Christine, Jessie, Nancy, Stacy and Wendy.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  Sure do hope to see you at the PJ party tonight!

The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peek 6 - J*lly H*liday Re-release

Welcome to day 6 of The Cat's Pajamas October Release sneak peeks.  You are going to recognize this set from years past.  I made a card with it awhile back and was saddened to hear it had been retired.  Well, here it is back again, J*lly H*liday!  If you wanted it before, be sure to snatch it up now because it's only back for a limited time.  It's another one of those very versatile sets that can be playful or very elegant based upon your design.


I paired it up with the new Scalloped Duo CutUps die.  Talk about versatile, I love all the options this fab die offers.  I left a bit of red peeking out from the cutout areas and used the three larger dies to create the very elegant frame.  I also used the ornament die from the new Holiday Tag CutUps Die.




Here's all the information you need to know...

The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peek 5 - This Could Be Vodka

Hi!  Welcome to day 5 of The Cat's Pajamas wonderful new release.  I have given up trying to pick a favorite stamp set during a new release...every set is my favorite.  I have to say this is one of my favorite favorites.  I love the sassy sentiments and the little animals are just too cute!  I have a fondness for Siamese cats.  I loved being able to color this cutie up like my sweet angel kitty, Shami.  


The Cups Duo CutUps (LOVE IT!) made paper piecing quick and easy. I used the inset technique to add some character to the big tea cup. The slider CutUp (you're going to love this one too!) as well as the sassy sentiment added some extra fun.  This kitty must have had a bit of vodka to be brave enough to go sliding around in a tea cup!



Here's all the important bits of information about this release again-

The Cat's Pajamas Sneak Peek 4 - Penguin Joy

I'm so glad you stopped in to see my day 4 peek of The Cat's Pajamas new set, Penguin Joy.  I loved every single image in this oh so cute set and decided to do something a bit different and make planner pages.   Here it is in all it's cuteness -


I love all the cute images in this set!  You can tell I have used whole images as well as parts of some of the images to mark special days.  I used the new CutUps die, Hill and Dale to decorate the bottom of the page and Square Stamp CutUps from the last release to frame the darling Penguins.  The back and front image of the little snow angel Penguin was perfect to decorate the clip as was the Easy Stitched Bow CutUps.   I just love the way it turned out.
